Each spring, The Raintree Association offers residents free removal of branches placed close to the street. This year, we will begin picking up branches on May 6th and it could take up to two weeks to complete the pickup.

Guidelines

• Branches placed close to or next to the street curb will be picked up for free. Please do not add a pile after a street has been cleared.

• No need to cut branches shorter. Chippers handle long branches easily.

• Due to budgeting constraints, standing dead trees will NOT be cut down and removed this year.

• It is imperative that NO construction materials be in the piles—nails, wire, etc. damage the chipper. In the past, unseen wire fencing caused expensive repairs and delays.

• It would be a much appreciated community service if branches from adjacent common areas be added to piles of branches.

• No leaves, bags, root balls, stumps or construction materials will be accepted.
